“A fabstastic Japanese restaurant with great food and excellent service! We visited both for dinner and breakfast (since it’s part of a motel) and enjoyed both experiences. The sushi train delivering food to the table was a huge hit, especially for our 8-year-old, who absolutely loved it! The quality-to-price ratio is excellent – you can choose between an all-you-can-eat option or order à la carte from the menu, which gives great flexibility depending on how hungry you are. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely one of the best Japanese dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend for both families and sushi lovers!”

“Recently Maui at the Seafood counter went absolutely over and above to make sure I had a fresh kingfish to fulfil an order I made. He was professional, kind and did such a wonderful job not only filleting and skinning the fish, but making sure I got a fish that was the correct size for my needs. Im very greatful, as I had already enquired multiple other places before I was able to find someone who could fulfil the order. Thank you Maui! Pak n Save Tauranga as a whole has a great selection of everything, and great prices. :)”
